What are Dreams?

Dreams are what we call the maps or areas that you go to in Furcadia. Main Maps are the Dreams that are official and controlled by the game staff. Most Dreams you visit are wonderful player created areas that are controlled by the Dream Owner or the person who uploaded the map. Dreams can be homes, games, puzzles, clubs, businesses, hangouts, or whole new worlds to explore and enjoy.

Who owns dreams? Can I make one?

Dreams that are not Main Maps are created by other players in Furcadia. These Dreams belong to the Dream Owner and visitors should be respectful and follow the rules of the Dream. You can create as many dreams as you want on your PC or Mac and upload them to the world for free. By downloading our free PC client, you too can be a Dream Owner!

How many Dreams are there?

There are at least a thousand Dreams loaded to Furcadia at any given time. Each of these are unique, and all are there for you to explore. Dreams do, however, go away if no one is in them, and might occasionally move their portal to a different spot. To find a dream you've visited before, you can contact the Dream Owner or "join" a friend that is already there.

What are the Main Maps?

Main Maps are the Dreams that are created and controlled by the game staff and the Beekin volunteers. These Dreams constitute the core world of Furcadia.

Every game is different; they often have different rules or appearances. However, you can almost always check for Entry Text, signs and NPCs that will give you instructions.

What is a Build-a-Home?

Often referred to as BaHs, these are Dreams set up like small communities where you can "buy" a house and decorate it however you like, all without needing to use a Dream Editor.

These are generally temporary spaces though-- if you leave your home, it will often be cleared for someone else to use.

What if I like wild animals?

The four-legged animals you see running about are called Ferians. Whole sections of the community prefer to play these avatars, and there are many Dreams that are home exclusively to Ferians. The Wylde is the Main Map dedicated to this genre, but you can find "feral" dreams spread throughout the world. Many of these Dreams will have all the avatars "patched" to be Ferian style, but you can be a Ferian anywhere by purchasing one from the Digo Market.

Are there other Realms or Worlds?
